This post is typical class warfare fear mongering. Whoever started it, do you not know that there are 787/777 CA and FO’s on reserve also. Why do you think it’s only jr folks on reserve?

Reserve affects every seniority level.

Total BS.

This is negotiating in public. Please do not negotiate in public. Let the NC do their job.

They already have airport ready reserve. Look how they’ve increased all the 3 hour sits in hubs. They can do whatever they want with you, which they often do, while you’re sitting there, and there’s zero repercussion. Seniority means nothing here anymore on the narrow body fleet. The scheduling abuses here need to stop.

Not required to have a cellphone or to be contactable. Smart pilots don’t answer their phones on sits.

It doesn’t matter. They either hit you with an acars inbound or like a recent flight...... They hit you after a 3 hr sit to wait another 2 hours for your new outbound flight. Sorry, we would have gotten you a hotel room, but you didn’t answer your phone.

How about you get me a hotel room. I’m fatigued and I’ll be ready to fly again in 10 hours. Thanks.

This.

Couple weeks ago an RA came across the ACARS on leg 1/day1 of a 3 day.
I informed them I was not accepting the RA.
So I landed and spent a 46hr layover downtown... and flew one leg back to base on day 3. Paid full value of the trip.

Bottom line, if you’re not rested for the RA don’t accept it.

Too many forward learners out there...

Quote from a APA Rep I trust, "Most of the time, Crew Tracking will directly RA a LUS Airbus crew instead of a LAA Airbus crew if both are QLA because many times the LAA crews will refuse it, they won't waste the effort".

I rode JS with 3 other Airbus LUS pilots. All 3 had no problem with a special RA game Tracking was playing (trips should be going to open time instead of RA). It was a contract bust, they wanted the $$$.

So what you’re saying is that we have AA pilots that accept RA’s?

I'm assuming this Rep was LAA. LUS folks seem to assume that it's the LAA folks that are the pushovers and that's how we ended up with this gem of a contract.

Remember, LUS didn't have reassignments (that's what reserves were for) so of course they blame the natives.

We need to stop with this divisive BS.

LAA rep blames LUS or visa versa isn't news, it's not even post-worthy, it's almost assumed at this point. Neither assumption is the truth.
